Wednesday 29 April: Fuel Support, Energy Bills & Short-Term Letting Delays
Description
The Government announces fuel support payments for farmers, hauliers and construction contractors by the end of June — but questions remain over support for households facing rising energy bills.
With Sinn Féin calling for an emergency budget and almost 317,000 homes in arrears, pressure is mounting on the Government to act sooner on cost-of-living measures.
Meanwhile, oil prices continue to rise amid ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and short-term letting reforms have been delayed after reported disagreement at Cabinet level.
